reckless driving for doughnuts....

[Silviaholic]

I was out Sunday night in my 180 and got video to prove it. I give mad props to my boy in his 90 Ford Escort....some how or another he can get sideways with the best of 'em. Ill tell you what, I thank god for open lighted parkin lots. Wide open, callin your name..."Come to me Butthead....."


Either way, my friend (Sean) did a 90* turn at 35mph and became throughly introduced with the snow bank. He he he.... I however pulled her at my record best of 32mph (Entrance speed) and pulled out rather nicely.

A learning experience:

I learned alot more about control in these last few snow days than I have learned in the entire time I have been on the road. I realize the advantages of a RWD vehicle while making a snowy turn.....gangsta

yeah it is. but my lawyer said that it's actually because that's the only thing they can charge us. they can give us an improper driving ticket. after taking it to court, they'll most likely reduce it to improper driver or just tell us to take driving school. so it's not as bad as i thought it'd be.


yeah, doughnuts are fun once in a while too. i think we prefer doing it in snow so our tires can live a little longer, haha. it's also nice to go a lil crazy after you're burnt out from studying or whatever.

I know the only thing that can be given on privite property in VA us a rechless ticket, in fact you can get on for just driving across the parking spaces in a lot. Silviaholic, I know how that goes, my roomate and I tape evertime we go out to parking lots in the snow, great times. There was once we had five cars all driving around doing dumb stuff in a small parking lot for like 15 minutes. Great conversation video

Blacksburg cops are the worst. They definitely try and screw any and everyone they can. I'm not going to rant about them because it's pointless. It sucks that you guys got those tickets. You should be able to get it dropped down from reckless if you take it to court. You probably don't even need a lawyer for it, just go there and they should offer you something less or driving school if you're a VA resident. I spent some time in court in B'burg and I saw people getting reckless for just about everything. One guy got it for his tires squeeling as he went around that turn in front of Squires and even the cop said he was driving the speed limit. The cops here are the worst kind, there's basically no crime around here besides alcohol related events and traffic violations.

Well good luck with the ticket. 019, does your car have a silvia badge on the back, in the middle. It's the written out badge. I keep seeing all these 240's around campus and never really get a chance to meet anybody. I've talked to a couple people, I saw Heinikenns on here. Well hopefully i'll see you around.

Oh if anybody ever gets pulled over in Blacksburg by officer Sowicki, just ask him about having trouble pulling over a red s13 hatch last October. Well maybe you shouldn't.

yea, blacksburg cops do suck... i have to take it to court, i get no say in that. i figured it'd be easier with a lawyer around, since he can use his connections. and yeah, they're probably going to drop it if i take driving school.

that's funny, haha. tires squeeling when making a turn?? haha. wow that's so reckless... that's not even improper driving!!

naw, my car doesn't have the silvia badge. i think i know which car you're talking about though. red s14 with the silvia badge. i saw the guy one day. he's korean. didn't get a chance to talk to him though. but you should be able to spot me around. red s14 with hks hiper. you'll hear me i'm rolling steelies too (w/o hubcaps), so just check out my rims and you'll find me. honk, high beam, flash hazard lights if you see me.
